  • Grover Jackson's New Home

    What I mean, is for one of his guitars.:ROTF:

    A special thanks goes out to RW who allowed me to take this off his hands and to Jani for providing a place to make this happen.

    This a Grover Jackson Firebird, Japan only market.

    Ordered in 1989 for Paul Raymond of UFO. The guitar I'm guessing was delivered in 1990 due to the serial number of J001762. It's a neck thru with MOP sharkfins...ebony fretboard...schaler locking trem...single volume...5 way switch. As you can tell, it was a righty that was professional converted to a lefty for Paul shortly after the guitar was delivered. Paul was pictured with the guitar for the 92/93 Jackson catalog. It is an great player with fantastic tone.

    I've always wanted a firecrackle guitar and a firebird...how lucky am I to get both in one guitar.

                That guitar is disturbing. Nice, but disturbing.

                Congrats on the score!

                    Looks awesome and it should be easy to convert to righty again, the original switch holes are still there and the tremolo is common...

                      The hole for the switch and volume pot were filled with a wood filler that was painted black then top coated. I'm certain that they can be re-drilled again. They never filled the cavity for the input jack when it was relocated so that would too be an easy fix. A conversion back to a righty would be easy...but I don't see happening soon
